AN OCCULT SCIENCE.


Remarkable Experience OF Man Who
Read HL Fate From His Hands.
For many years past have been q
firm believer in the truth of palmistry,
but recently made an experiment
which has shaken my faith in the art
of hand-reading, in a measure. For
the benefit of the public, l have kind
ly consented to relate my experience 80
that the matter may be satisfactorily
explained, if such a thing be possible.
There are few slight contradictions
in the result my experiment brought
out, which am somehow unable to re-
concile. l will therefore give my
readers an opportunity to see what
they can do to restore the lost har-
mony.
A few days ago, after attending \
lecture upon hand-reading. by Prof.
A. Stork-Edward. the famous British
sarant. at Pickering Hall. bought n
book containing key to all the lines
of the hand. defining them and describ-
ing their significance for veal or for
woe. | then made an exact chart Of
the lines of my hand, showing the pre-
else location of each lump on my palm,
and all the other DISTINGUISHED charac-
teristics of its surface. Then I consult
ed the book with the following extraor-
binary result:
l am nervous and sensitive.
l have 4 phlegmatic temperament,
and my feelings can never me hurt.
l shall live to be ninety-seven years
of are. six months and five days.
I shall die before l am forty from
cholera infantum.
l shall marry rich woman when l
am twenty-One.
shall be the mother of twins.
My husband will have red hair and
wooden arm. He will not be rich. but
my eldest daughter will marry u rich
Italian nobleman.
/ shall never be a parent, but my wife
will be widow with eight fatherless
children.
l shall never marry. but my second
cousin James will 20 out West and be
4 Mormon.
have no second cousin James. but
if perseyere in living. may have one
before | die.
am best fitted for the ministry or for
bank-bur,;ling and will make IL great
success ut either.
l am very laxative. but as l never
say any thing of Importance, l need not
worry about this symptom.
| shall never be President of the
United States. but the Car has it in his
mind to make me Prince of Bulgaria.
l had better not accept the position.
though, because the trident on the
Mount of Jupiter warns me that l
would suffer from cold feet, if l ever
became Prince of Bulgaria.
l shall always be rich.
My will will be contested by lawyer
with one glass-eye. and 4 sallow COM
plexion. need not worry about that.
though. for he will not win the case.
l shall die in poor-house and in.
testate.
l shall be drowned in the Arctic
Ocean while am travelling there to see
my daughter, who has eloped with M
Eskimo seal-hunter.
This is all
Do you blame me. gentle reader, for
being suspicious?
Can you reconcile the contradictions:
If you can, you have my best wishes.
-Bcydmin Northrop in Puck.
